Now that we have all your items covered for your overnight or weekend trip – we’re going to help make the packing process even easier…

First Off, Create a packing list in your notes…

Before you start throwing things into your suitcase, take the time to make a packing list. It doesn’t have to be an extensive list; just jot down the basics. Think in terms of categories like clothing, shoes, toiletries, accessories (sunglasses, hats etc.), electronics (phones, chargers etc.) and documents (passports, travel tickets etc). Creating this list will help ensure that you don’t forget anything important at home while also helping keep track of what’s already in your suitcase so that you don’t overpack.

Pack smarter, not harder

When it comes to clothes, less is more. Choose versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched throughout the weekend to create multiple looks from minimal items. Clothing-wise stick with neutrals like black and white so that everything works together seamlessly and easily transitions from day-to-night. Bring one pair of shoes per activity such as sneakers for walking around town, sandals for lounging on the beach and dress shoes if there are plans to go out at night. As far as accessories go choose items like a cute hat which can double as both fashion statement pieces as well as a sun protector depending on where your travels take you. Basically, pack the accessories we shared above…

Take Care of Necessities

Be sure to pack all necessary documents such as passports and tickets in an accessible place like an outside pocket or pouch on your bag so they are easy to grab when needed while traveling through security or customs checkpoints. Also remember to pack chargers for all electronics including phones and cameras so that they last all weekend long! Additionally be sure not forget any toiletries like toothpaste or deodorant which can be easily forgotten when packing but are essential items when traveling away from home.

Packing is an important part of any trip but it doesn’t have to be stressful! With these accessories and tips in mind you can rest assured knowing that everything has been taken care off before heading out your door on your next spring weekend getaway and you’ll be looking the part! So don’t worry about forgetting something – just relax and enjoy yourself!
